How it works

Survey & Measure

We measure, check the subfloor and confirm the floor, pattern and layout.

Preparation

Subfloors are levelled, moisture-tested and prepared for a stable installation.

Installation

Boards are acclimatised, then laid, glued or floated to suit the floor and room.

Finishing

Beading, thresholds and trims are fitted and the floor is cleaned ready to use.

Wood Floor Installation — questions

Do you supply and fit, or fit only?

We supply and fit as one team, so whoever chooses the oak is accountable for how it looks once laid. We can also fit floors supplied separately.

Can you lay wood flooring over underfloor heating?

Yes. Engineered oak is well suited to underfloor heating when correctly specified, acclimatised and fitted.

How long does installation take?

Most rooms are fitted in two to five days depending on size, pattern and subfloor preparation.

Wood Floor Installation Cambridge

Fitted by our own team

A beautiful board is only as good as the fit. Our wood floor installation in Cambridge is carried out by our own craftsmen — never subcontracted — so one team is accountable from sample to skirting.

We acclimatise the floor in the room first, check and prepare the sub-floor for level and moisture, then fit using the right method for the board and the base: glue-down for stability and underfloor heating, floating where appropriate, or secret-nailing over joists. The finishing trims, nosings and thresholds are part of the job, not an afterthought.

Preparation is everything

Most floor problems trace back to preparation: a sub-floor that was not flat, a board that was not acclimatised, moisture that was not checked. We take the time to get those right, which is why our floors stay flat and quiet. Explore what we fit across the collections, from wide planks to chevron.

Frequently asked questions

Do you fit floors supplied by someone else?

Usually yes, though we will want to inspect the boards and discuss the sub-floor first so we can stand behind the result. Many clients prefer us to supply and fit as one accountable team.

How long does installation take?

It depends on the size of the room, the pattern and the sub-floor preparation needed. A single room is often a couple of days; a patterned floor or whole house takes longer. We give a realistic schedule when we quote.
